Access control via smartphone app
Vehicle access control
For authorised personnel only: ELOfleet ensures that forklifts can only be operated by authorised personnel, who log in to the smartphone via RFID using their company ID.
PIN based access control is also an option, as is anonymous operation, without the assignment of drivers to vehicles. Three levels of authorisation can be configured: driver, operations/area manager, workshop personnel.
Electronic checklists
Compliance with obligatory checks: before your personnel can operate a truck, ELOfleet will prompt them to comply with statutory obligatory checks. You can configure these electronic checklists to accord with your own operational requirements. Freely defined questions and multiple choice answers – you can choose what suits.
Web based software
Intuitive and always to hand
Clearly structured data processing: the individually configurable dashboard allows a clear overview of all key fleet data, which can be summarised in daily, weekly or monthly evaluations.
Analysis across multiple sites
10 standard reports are included in the package, to allow flexible analysis according to your individual requirements, also across multiple locations. Identify potential savings within your fleet operation, optimise the deployment of vehicles and improve your productivity.
Impact Management - avoid unnecessary costs
Better safe than sorry
Forklift impacts can have an adverse effect on a vehicle’s condition. To keep consequences to a minimum, ELOfleet records accidents involving trucks by means of an MEMS sensor and categorises them according to severity. Subsequent actions can be triggered depending on severity and are adjustable, for example the activation of creep speed, the lockout of the vehicle or the requirement to complete a checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ELOfleet integrate with my existing forklift truck fleet and infrastructure?
Yes. Our ELOfleet telematics system is OEM-agnostic and designed for straightforward installation across your existing forklift truck fleet, whether you operate a single brand or a mixed fleet. No modifications to your organisation’s forklift trucks or infrastructure are required to deploy and use ELOfleet.
Does installing ELOfleet invalidate my forklift trucks’ warranty?
No. Installing ELOfleet on your forklift truck fleet does not invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
How long does ELOfleet installation take?
Installation timelines vary depending on the scope of your project, including fleet size and number of sites. ELOKON provides structured implementation planning to minimise disruption and ensure a smooth, efficient rollout.
Things to consider:
- How many trucks can be taken out of operation at any one time?
- How much space is available on-site for the ELOKON team to carry out installation?
- How many different types of forklift trucks are involved? Installation across multiple truck types may require varying levels of time and effort.
Where is the ELOfleet software hosted?
The ELOfleet web-based software can be hosted either in the cloud or on-premises within your organisation’s IT environment.
- Our cloud-based solution is hosted securely on Microsoft Azure.
- Our on-premises option is deployed within your organisation’s own data centre and firewall.
What is telematics?
Telematics is a technology that combines connected sensors, onboard hardware and wireless communication to capture and transmit operational data from fleet vehicles.
In intralogistics and material handling, forklift truck telematics is used within fleet management systems to monitor vehicle usage, operator activity, impacts, maintenance requirements and truck location in real time.
This data enables warehouses and distribution centres to improve forklift safety, optimise fleet utilisation, reduce downtime, and increase overall operational efficiency.
How can telematics improve forklift truck safety?
Telematics enhances forklift truck safety by using connected sensors and fleet management software to monitor driving behaviour, speed, impact events and vehicle access in real time.
With features such as impact alerts, safety reports and insights into unsafe driving practices, telematics helps warehouse managers reduce incidents, improve compliance and create safer working environments.
ELOKON’s ELOfleet system includes operator login and configurable pre-shift safety checklists, ensuring only authorised and trained personnel operate equipment while identifying potential safety or maintenance issues before use.
How is telematics transforming forklift truck fleet management?
Telematics is transforming forklift truck fleet management by providing:
- Real-time visibility of forklift truck usage
- Operator performance insights
- Accurate equipment location tracking
- Proactive maintenance data
With forklift telematics and fleet management software like ELOfleet, warehouse managers can identify underutilised assets, optimise preventative maintenance and make informed, data-driven decisions to improve fleet efficiency and productivity.
Telematics enables smarter, more efficient intralogistics operations by increasing visibility, reducing downtime and enhancing safety across the entire fleet.
What features should I look for in a forklift truck telematics system?
A robust forklift telematics system should offer key features such as digital pre-use checklists, access control and real-time data insights.
ELOfleet stands out by providing:
- An OEM-agnostic solution suitable for single-brand or mixed forklift fleets
- Customisable digital pre-operational checklists
- Three levels of vehicle access: Operator, Maintenance and Admin
- Controlled access to ensure only safe, compliant trucks are used
- Configurable impact sensitivity to avoid false positives during normal operations
- Detailed impact data, real-time alerts and intuitive dashboard reporting
- Personalised driver login messages to highlight risks or restricted areas
- Scalable fleet management for single or multiple sites
- Advanced data analysis, enabling comparison of operational performance across sites and fleets
